I m not going to lie BE fans - that is not how I thought this was going to play out. In our kick-off bout, current UFC Lightweight champion and Featherweight, kind of Conor McGregor fell and fell hard, losing a clear decision to original division champion Jens Pulver. The Conor contingent was quieter than expected here, giving Pulver a pass to the 2nd round and either a trilogy fight with BJ Penn or a battle with JZ Cavalcante. Hey, it could happen.

Today, two tough grinders with accomplished career, but also two men who have never worn UFC gold around their waist. #3 Gilbert Melendez takes on #6 Jim Miller in one of those Oh man, why didn t we ever get to see this fight in real life? clashes. Winner moves on to the Sweet 16, and your votes decide who gets the call.
